Python PRAW – Getting the list of subreddits moderated by a redditor

In Reddit, a redditor is the term given to a user. A moderator is a redditor responsible for the content moderation of a subreddit. Here we will see how to fetch all the subreddits a redditor is moderating. We will be using the moderated() method of the Redditor class to fetch the list of the redditor’s moderated subreddits.

moderated()

Syntax : Redditor.moderated()

Parameter : None

Returns : List of objects of class Subreddit

Example 1 : Consider the following redditor :

The user name of the redditor is : spez.

# importing the module
import praw

# initialize with appropriate values
client_id = ""
client_secret = ""
username = ""
password = ""
user_agent = ""

# creating an authorized reddit instance
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = client_id,
                     client_secret = client_secret,
                     username = username,
                     password = password,
                     user_agent = user_agent)

# the name of the redditor
redditor_name = "spez"

# instantiating the Redditor class
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)

# fetching the list of moderated subreddits
subreddits = redditor.moderated()

# printing the name of the subreddits
for subreddit in subreddits:
    print(subreddit)

Output :

Example 2 : Consider the following redditor :

The user name of the redditor is : AutoModerator

# importing the module
import praw

# initialize with appropriate values
client_id = ""
client_secret = ""
username = ""
password = ""
user_agent = ""

# creating an authorized reddit instance
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = client_id,
                     client_secret = client_secret,
                     username = username,
                     password = password,
                     user_agent = user_agent)

# the name of the redditor
redditor_name = "AutoModerator"

# instantiating the Redditor class
redditor = reddit.redditor(redditor_name)

# fetching the list of moderated subreddits
subreddits = redditor.moderated()

# counting the number od subreddits moderated
print(redditor_name + " is a moderator of " + str(len(subreddits)) + " number of subreddits.")
